Could not have stated it better Rhonda!! Kevin deserves to have it worked on by the "crew"!!!

It’s illegal to drive an El Camino without a mullet. Kevin needs to start growing the mullet before he gets pulled for improper equipment. 😂 Tell Kevin he may as well go back and torque the intake bolts again. Every SBC that I’ve put intake gaskets on needed re-torquing because the gaskets crushed after sitting for a while.

My brother had one when we were kids. It had a Big Daddy Roth rat eating a piece of cheese hand-painted on the post in back of the driver and passenger. It had a low compression 454 under the hood and it could get up and go with all the weight. Also had a 59 El Camino which could do some serious wheelies

We’ve watched a bunch of Ford trucks being reworked, so one little Chevy ain’t going to kill you guys. If he has a good body and undercarriage the engine can be made good. You’ve proved that several times. NO CURVES

Pretty much in the same condition as every 80's high school kid. Those were the golden years.

Chevrolet put the distributor in the rear because it drives the oil pump. They wanted the sump in the rear so under hard acceleration, the oil in the pan goes to the rear and the pump doesn't starve. Fords don't accelerate hard enough for the oil to move out of the front sump.

You can find good and bad in anything mechanical. Just keep up doing a variety of things that you do. It is what makes this site fun to watch. Kevin is just a kid at heart, so a new toy every now and then keeps him happy. Good job guys. 👍

I'm a huge El Camino fan. All I can say to Kevin is: I'm sorry. With time, many new parts and money he can make it nice again. The smile on his face tells me he is willing.

Nothing wrong with mixing it up a bit , keeps it interesting , and besides Kevin was absolutely grinning the whole time

Congrats Kevin. It's the comradely that makes this channel! G'day from Tasmania!

This was an excellent video for a Chevy; it was just a bit better than watching the fire truck ladder go up and down. It was good to see Kevin smiling and gettin' a heaping helping of smackdown.

Im a ford man too. Just the constant digs is gold. Make more of these. They're fun. Pimp that ride !!

It is great to hear Clint busting Kevin's balls and the trying not to be excited about fixing it up.

The big smile on Kevin’s face was awesome

A lot of fun to watch

Congratulations, Kevin. On your ElCamino, it does look like it's in pretty good shape its goin b to need some work. it's not a new car. You do have to face a little ribbing from the guys. I know you will get it all fixed up and looking good. 😮

Dad bought a new '73. SS... 350 4bbl with factory positraction, White with black, SS stripes. After a few years an old man sideswiped him in a rainstorm and totaled it. It ran really good and was pretty quick. The only tickets he ever got in his entire life were in that car!

Ain't no fun if it's cherry! This'll be a great build! Have fun and looks like a great find Kevin. You've fixed a lot of Clint's junk so now it's your turn to do it for yourself. GOOD LUCK!!!! 👍❤️📹🤔😃🎇🎆🪅🎉🎊

awesome to see Kevin got his car and take it easy on the chevy we been watching you trying to make your son ford truck more user friendly with the dodge cummins lmfo .

Back when men were men and mullets were in fashion, we had a couple ElCams put on K5 Blazer/K10 4x4 frames for mud bogs. This needs some of your military surplus under it ;)

GM did use RTV, a real high-quality RTV, for valve cover gaskets. I bought cases of the caulking tubes from our local Buick parts dept at a steep discount for buying it by multiple case lots and used it in multiple applications. One was a real money saver. On Fairbanks Morse oil field engines the pumpers had a bad habit of smacking the top of the case on the WICO magnetos using the crank handle when the mag would not impulse when cranking. I put about a 1/4" coating of the RTV on top of the magnetos and we ceased having to buy $75 magneto cases. Checking and rebuilding magnetos was a 2-3 a day happening due to moisture/condensation causing the points to fail. That usually took about 15 minutes to repair them. We annealed the copper single-cylinder head gaskets and put a light smear of that RTV on the gasket. No water pressure as the engines ran at 212+ degrees and the steam went up into the radiator and fell back into the engine as liquid. I hate to think how many times those gaskets were reused.

About time you did a car build for Kevin he deserves it . 😁

I agree! Do it up!

Kevin is extreamly fortunate that you are so generous!

Just seeing the smile on Kevins face was worth the torture of watching a chevy being worked on. He better do some body work on it right away before all the bondo falls off of it.

I had a 1976 Malibu Classic with a Police Pkg. 350 4brl and beefy tires. Handled like a dream. With dual exhaust I eliminated power robbing parts and added Maremont flow through mufflers. Sounded like Kevin's El Camino. I put 100,000 miles on it, then bought a Pick up. The car shop who bought it sold it and repoed it a dozen times. Then they pulled the motor and put it in a dirt track car and won money with it. They called, asking if I had any more of those engine/transmissions laying around. I was surprised it lasted that long.

Great change of pace! Congratulations Kevin you rock!

This is hysterical!! It’s all in good fun.

Sweet ride, Kevin!

Kevin's Detroit Alligator! Yep, I've been there and done that. Raced and daily driver. Wish I had some of that money now.

I would love to see more work on the El Camino. It seems to me the bones are solid. My dad drove these for years through the 80's. Wish I had kept one for the memories!

Kevin needs to have his 5 minutes of fame or shame also, just like the rest of basket cases the shop sorts out. I was looking for this vid. We all knew it was going to be good humor.

Kevin is a hell of a good sport and just rolled with the punches. The bright side Clint is if you do more videos on it, it would be the cheapest project on the channel. A brand new GM 350 long block wouldn't cost more than just the head off some of those bigger diesels. And before someone jumps my case about it, a new head for a C15 Cat is nearly $4k; Summit racing has long block 350s for under $3500. For that matter depending on the parts cost, he nearly spent that much to just bolt that 12 valve in Hunter's truck, not including the engine. Jokes and brand bashing aside, Kevin looks pretty damn happy with it, and that is all that matters.

I’m happy for Kevin & look forward to seeing him bring this beauty up to a state that wows everyone!

That smile on Kevin's face says it all! He's like a kid on Christmas morning!

Being one of the 10 people watching, nice video and I bet you and Kevin know more about those engines then 30 Chevrolet mechanics. Great video, i think knew what he was buying. Thumbs up!

Kevin, I hope you end up with the El Camino of your dreams, but if it doesn’t work out with Mr C. You know who always has your back 😉🥰😂✋

The valve covers are made for Jake brakes

It's amazing how well things run when parts are assembled right and tight !!! My first car was a 1961 Chevy Biscayne that I rebuilt the engine for a bought $200 that included machening and all parts; try that today!!!!!!!!!!! I also turned it into an Impala by changing the trunk lid and all interior from an Impala that my dad bought for the engine! That was back in 1965 when I was in high school! Good luck with Elco!

When you buy a very used vehicle, Ford, Chevy or MOPAR, the manufacturer has nothing to do with it. It’s all about the previous owner(s).

Mine is a 79. I loved driving it. I put a auburn Posi-trac with Richmond gears. When it hooked up in second gear it sounded like the drive shaft was coming thru the floorboard. But instead, it bent the lower control arm on the passenger side. I had already reinforced the control arms with plate, so it bent where the bushings connect to the axle. Great grocery getters. Drunk ran into the passenger side of it when it was parked. I'm confident Kevin can take care of the beauty shop problems.

Hey Kevin sorry about your poor working conditions.

Seeing you guys work on that engine sure brought back a lot of memories so thanks for that. I heard mention of 350 but unless it was changed that should have been a 305. What I want to know is when are we going to see a Ranchero...... you know just for the grins and giggles🤣🤣
